Hi sailingdog
Thanks for that, I think its possible to weld the copper to the steel, (I have welded copper pipe to stainless before with quite good results, however I haven’t to steel, I can feel an experiment coming on!!) but I was going for stainless steel as it would stay clean easier, if I weld tinned copper to the frame the tinning will just burn up.
If the stainless is a poor conductor how does the steel rate??
Would I be better just welding a piece of steel or trying to clean up an area on the frame and greasing it to keep it clean and corrosion free?
As the rest of the steel hull is the ground I was thinking a small area of a stainless steel lug wouldn’t have made that much difference.
Thanks for the suggestion of epoxying the copper that’s probably a good idea knowing what copper goes like on a boat….
We have very dry bilges (the joys of a steel boat) as I find it a good way of cutting back on corrosion.
Thanks again for your help
Michael
